It sounds like an absurdity to me. Sharing one's underwear seems a bit excessive, or hyperbolic.
As for the Latin term, "ventris," wouldn't that literally be "of the belly," not "of the womb?" The Latin term for womb is, as far as I know, the same as our synonym for it, "uterus."
As for FTL, I see that as "Futile." After all, Fruit of The Loom went broke last year, and changed the name upon restructuring, if I recall rightly.
And welcome to the asylum, TIVTRANS!
